Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CDV16FF561JO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 560 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 1 kV (minimum; higher ratings acceptable)
• Dielectric material: Mica (exact match required)

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.234" ± acceptable tolerance (5.94mm nominal)
• Physical dimensions: Compatible with 0.461" L x 0.173" W envelope

Performance Characteristics:

• RF, High Q, Low Loss features (must be maintained)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 150°C (exact match required)

Substitute parts must maintain all critical parameters while potentially offering improvements in compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH status) or enhanced inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CDV16FF561JO3F as Direct Substitute:

The CDV16FF561JO3F is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the CDV16FF561JO3. All critical parameters—capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, dielectric material, mounting type, package configuration, and operating temperature range—are identical between the two parts.

The lead spacing difference of 0.002" (0.04mm) between the main part (0.234") and substitute (0.232") is within acceptable manufacturing tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors and does not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Compliance Advantages:

The CDV16FF561JO3F offers superior compliance certifications:

• ROHS3 Compliant (versus RoHS non-compliant for the main part)
• REACH Unaffected (versus REACH Affected for the main part)

These certifications make the substitute part suitable for applications subject to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 requirements.

Inventory Considerations:

The CDV16FF561JO3F has significantly higher inventory availability (2716 pieces versus 790 pieces), providing improved supply chain reliability and shorter lead times.

Selection Criteria:

Use CDV16FF561JO3F when:

• RoHS3 compliance is required
• REACH compliance is required
• Enhanced inventory availability is beneficial
• Lead times for the original part number are extended

Use CDV16FF561JO3 when:

• Specific design documentation or legacy specifications mandate the original part number
• RoHS/REACH compliance is not a requirement

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CDV16FF561JO3F replace CDV16FF561JO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CDV16FF561JO3F is electrically and mechanically equivalent. All critical parameters match, including capacitance (560 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (1 kV), dielectric material (mica), mounting type (through hole), and package configuration (radial). The lead spacing difference of 0.002" is within acceptable tolerance and does not affect PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the "F" suffix in CDV16FF561JO3F?

A: Based on the provided specifications, the "F" suffix indicates a variant with improved compliance certifications. The CDV16FF561JO3F is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, whereas the CDV16FF561JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics: 560 pF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, 1 kV voltage rating, mica dielectric, RF/High Q/Low Loss features, and -55°C ~ 150°C operating temperature range. Physical dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting configuration are also equivalent within acceptable tolerances.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, CDV16FF561JO3F is recommended due to ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, which align with current regulatory requirements in most markets. Additionally, higher inventory availability reduces supply chain risk.

Q: Is the lead spacing difference significant?

A: No. The lead spacing difference of 0.002" (0.04mm) between CDV16FF561JO3 (0.234") and CDV16FF561JO3F (0.232") is within standard manufacturing tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors. Both parts are compatible with the same PCB footprints.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in RF applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified with identical RF, High Q, and Low Loss features. The mica dielectric material and electrical parameters are identical, making them fully interchangeable for RF circuit applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. No special storage or handling precautions are necessary.
